Don't come over here. I don't want Feng Aotian to misunderstand me.

So, the two of them took out their weapons and rushed towards Ye Ping'an who was at the door of the ruined temple.

Of course, Ye Ping'an was also aware of the actions of the two men. He immediately mobilized his spiritual power and controlled the sword. After the sword turned around, it quickly slashed across the necks of the two men. Suddenly, the two heads slipped off their shoulders before the two men could react.

The distance between the two of them had only been less than halfway covered when he followed in the footsteps of his eldest brother and died on the spot.

After getting rid of all three of them, Ye Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ye Ping'an's cultivation was higher than that of the feminine man, this was his first time killing someone. Even though he had lived two lives, it was difficult for Ye Ping'an to adapt in a short period of time. Even now, Ye Ping'an's body was still trembling slightly.

But Ye Pingan did it anyway.

Ye Ping'an was very clear that he was not the protagonist, and he did not have the protection of that damn power of heaven. If he died, he would be really dead.

As a fellow cultivator, Ye Ping'an naturally knows how difficult it is to deal with cultivators. Although the other party's realm is not as good as his, aren't those cannon fodders and passers-by in the plot just looking down on the protagonist, allowing the protagonist to counterattack and kill them?

As for such a vicious criminal, he naturally deserved to be put to death. Although Ye Ping'an's means were a bit despicable, it could even be called a sneak attack, but he directly killed the eldest brother among the three.

After dealing with the feminine man, the remaining two, even if they were bigger than him, were just paper tigers! With just two swords, he dealt with them.

After taking a break and finally calming down the urge to kill, Ye Ping'an turned to look at his target this time, Shui Ling'er, the princess of the Water Kingdom.

After all, he wanted to leave a deep positive impression on her, so he immediately walked in front of Shui Ling'er and smiled, which he thought was the most handsome and contagious smile: "Don't be afraid, the bad guys have been eliminated by my brother."

Then he extended his left hand towards the stunned girl.

I think this young heroine has already regarded herself as her savior!

......

Shui Ling'er's perspective:

When the feminine man in front of her started to attack, Shui Ling'er thought that she would lose an important part, such as an eye or an ear.

Shui Ling'er is most afraid of pain. The girl has been very sensitive since she was young. Normally, even bumps and bumps would cause her to cry in pain. Sometimes her mother would punish Shui Ling'er for being naughty, she would not scold or beat her, but would use the punishment that Shui Ling'er feared the most, tickling.

As long as this punishment is used, Shui Ling'er will be in great pain and tears will flow like they are free.

Just a minor injury in daily life makes the girl cry bitterly. If something on her body is missing, wouldn't it be extremely painful?

Moreover, Shui Ling'er has a habit of privately collecting small notebooks. The small notebooks in the room are not only about cultivating immortals, but also some small notebooks obtained from less formal channels.

Those little notebooks were specially purchased by Shui Ling'er's maid on her behalf and were not to be discovered by outsiders.

No matter which channel you buy the notebook from, there will be a scene where the princess is kidnapped.

In the stories that can be purchased from public channels, after the princess is kidnapped, there is always a powerful protagonist who kills the kidnapper, falls in love with the princess, and gets married.

As for those books that cannot be purchased through public channels, the princesses in them were not rescued in the end. Instead, they were humiliated by the kidnappers and even gave birth to the kidnappers' children.

Although she blushed at the time, if this situation really happened to her, all she would be left with was fear. She didn't want to be humiliated by the kidnappers.

Shui Ling'er even saw a very terrifying scene where a person's legs and arms were cut off and unable to walk. Shui Ling'er was so scared that she didn't sleep well for three days.

Seeing the gleaming blade about to reach her, Shui Ling'er even remembered for a moment the helpless girl who had no legs or arms and could only suffer bullying on the bed. The fear in her heart reached its peak.

However, at this moment, she could only pray helplessly in fear, hoping that the story would develop like those positive scenes, praying that there would be a handsome protagonist who could save her.

If he can save me, I will agree to anything he asks.

Just as Shui Ling'er was praying to the immortal who might not exist, there was a bang, and the blade that was attacking her was actually knocked away.

Accompanied by a slightly childish voice, Shui Ling'er barely opened her frightened eyes, looked towards the entrance of the dilapidated temple, and then she was stunned.

I saw a man in a green gown at the door. He was about twelve or thirteen years old, three parts cute and seven parts handsome. At this moment, he was like the protagonist in a story and descended into Shui Ling'er's heart.

For a moment, the girl couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.

However, when Shui Ling'er heard that the bad guys wanted to win over the handsome young man, her heart tightened. She wanted to ask the handsome young man not to believe them, and she would give him more, or even send herself away.

Maybe it was because of the previous fear, or because of anxiety, the girl did not make any sound. Just when Shui Ling'er was extremely anxious, the scene suddenly changed. Shui Ling'er was dazzled. The bad guy who was so vicious to her just now was eliminated by the handsome figure in the blink of an eye.

Watching the long sword fly back into the scabbard behind the young man, the elegant posture made Shui Ling'er's eyes sparkle. Even her original fear was diluted a lot with the death of the three people.

Just as she was thinking this, the handsome young man finally moved, and walked straight to the girl's side, like a small notebook that could be sold openly, and smiled at the girl: "Don't be afraid, the bad guys have been eliminated by my brother."

In an instant, Shui Ling'er fell and her heart was pounding.

Looking at Ye Ping'an's cheek, I can't help but feel that he is so handsome and safe.

Is this my future husband? Will he hug me, hold me in his arms, and swear to be loyal to me forever?

The girl thought excitedly.

PS: Thanks to Sergeant 117 John Dada for the monthly ticket reward. Thanks to the lazy man who is too lazy to name Dada and 246354 Dada for a cup of ice.

65. I am afraid, please don’t leave me alone

Looking at the girl like this, Ye Pingan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Normally, Shui Ling'er, who had suffered such an incident, should have been as terrified as she was at the beginning. Even if Ye Ping'an had solved the three culprits, he should still be terrified, but looking at the girl in front of him with rosy cheeks and shining eyes.

Ye Pingan always felt that something was wrong. However, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and although Shui Ling'er looked a little strange, she should have remembered his handsome and great figure firmly in her mind!

In this way, when I see myself in the future, I will remember, “Ah! It was that person who saved me from the hands of the bandits.”

In this way, when he was in life-and-death crisis, Shui Ling'er would not sit idly by.

Holding Shui Ling'er's jade hand, he instantly felt the soft jade touch. When Ye Ping'an let go of Shui Ling'er's hand, he couldn't help feeling reluctant.

After looking at the bodies of the three people and the bloody mess in the ruined temple, Ye Ping'an thought again and again and decided to take Shui Ling'er out of here first.

After all, this miserable scene would scare a young girl, even if it was him who had caused it. In order not to cause any psychological trauma to the young Shui Ling'er, Ye Ping'an decided to leave the dilapidated temple.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here first."

"Yes! I'll...always listen to my brother." After hearing Ye Ping'an's words, Shui Ling'er immediately nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.

After bringing Shui Ling'er outside, the instantly clear air made Ye Ping'an and Shui Ling'er finally recover from the urgency just now. Without the bloody smell in the ruined temple, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the carriage not far away, fortunately the two tall horses were resting at this time. It seemed that everything was fine. If there was any damage to the two horses, Ye Ping'an would probably have to carry the princess back.

After all, one should do good things to the end. If one just saves Shui Ling'er and then leaves, Shui Ling'er will most likely hate him in the end.

As for why he didn't use a flying sword to take Shui Ling'er flying? Of course, it was because Ye Ping'an himself was a half-baked man. If he didn't control the force well, or if his spiritual power suddenly ran out on the road, the two of them might fall to their deaths on the road because of this accident.

Even Ye Ping'an might not be able to fly with Shui Ling'er. Imagine standing on a flying sword with a beautiful girl standing behind him, and then the beautiful girl stood up and looked at him eagerly as he was about to take off, but he couldn't fly. I think that kind of embarrassing scene would probably make Ye Ping'an lose face to the point of social death!

Now that we have secured our return transportation, we can go back now.

However, Ye Ping'an came here for another main purpose, Star Ash.

Before he started fighting with the three people, Ye Ping'an had carefully looked at this place and found that it was somewhat similar to the place where the Star Ash was described in the plot. If the Star Ash was really here, then after Ye Ping'an took the Star Ash and sent Shui Ling'er home, he would have basically completed the mission.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping'an decided to let Shui Ling'er wait for him in the carriage while he went to find the star ash first and then send Shui Ling'er back.

Just when Ye Ping'an was about to speak, he suddenly paused.

You have to know that Ye Ping'an is a young hero who happened to pass by here. If he calls Shui Ling'er by name directly, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion. After all, it is the first time for the two to meet, how could he know Shui Ling'er's name?

Moreover, Shui Ling'er doesn't know her own name. No name means no impression of it. What if she forgets it in the future?

So Ye Pingan changed his tone and asked Shui Ling'er about her name: "By the way, I still don't know what your name is, sister?"

"Hey? My...my name is Shui Ling'er." The girl lowered her head shyly and spoke in a shy tone.

"Shui Ling'er? What a nice name." Ye Ping'an praised generously.

For some reason, being praised by the boy in front of her, even if it was just the name, made Shui Ling'er feel very happy. The two little hands could not help but entangled together, and she whispered: "Then... that... Brother, just call me Ling'er."

"Well! Then I'll call you Ling'er." Ye Ping'an nodded.

"Still...still don't know what your name is, brother?"

Ye Pingan smiled knowingly. He knew that as long as he asked Shui Ling'er his name, Shui Ling'er would also ask him his name: "My name is Ye Pingan! Ling'er, just call me Ping'an."

"Well! Then...from now on I will call you Brother Ping'an." Then the girl lowered her head.

'after'?

Ye Ping'an was a little confused, but seeing Shui Ling'er's expression, he thought it might be because the other party was nervous!

Shui Ling'er had lived in the palace since she was a child, so she probably had little contact with boys! And I was Shui Ling'er's savior, so if I thought so, Shui Ling'er's previous blushing, nervousness, and even the wrong words were understandable. I didn't take it to heart.

Now, he still needs to find Star Ash, so naturally he needs to settle Shui Ling'er first. So he said to Shui Ling'er, "Ling'er, I have some things that I haven't finished here this time. You can rest in the carriage first. I will come back to pick you up after I finish my things, okay?" After all, there are three corpses in the ruined temple now, so of course he can't go back to the ruined temple, and there are no other buildings nearby, so Shui Ling'er can only stay in the horse for a while.

"No!" What Ye Ping'an didn't expect was that Shui Ling'er immediately raised her head and refused in a slightly anxious tone.

The girl's lovely face was full of determination. In the girl's memory, there were many stories where the hero saved the girl, but suddenly remembered something and left the girl there, and then... there was no more.

It was obvious that the girl was left there on purpose, and the protagonist left directly.

Usually, there is a fixed name for this kind of girl who is left behind by the protagonist, that is, passerby.

Shui Ling'er didn't want to be a passerby, she wanted to be the heroine in the story, so she wouldn't agree to stay here alone. Moreover, if she stayed alone in this desolate place after Brother Ping'an left, with three corpses in the distance, her originally relaxed emotions would start to panic again.

"Brother Ping An, I'm scared. Please don't leave me alone."

PS: Thanks to Xiang Dounao Dada and REMEIND Dada for their monthly ticket rewards. Special thanks to: Ah Don’t Do That Kind of Things Dada for the twelve consecutive monthly ticket rewards.

66. It hurts

Ye Pingan scratched his head, he was also helpless.

If you think about it carefully, leaving a young girl like Shui Ling'er alone in this wilderness, with a dead body not far away, any little girl would be scared.

Silently recalling the description of the place where the star ash was hidden in the plot, there shouldn't be any dangerous place. It's just very hidden! After all, if too many means are added, it is very likely to be exposed, thus attracting the covetousness of high-level monks.

Finally, Ye Pingan had to agree: "Okay then! But the journey may be a little hard, because I'm not sure whether the thing is here or not."

"It's okay, I will definitely endure it." Shui Ling'er immediately raised her determined eyes and said, even with a strange light in her eyes.

Because at this moment, Shui Ling'er has recalled that in those little books, this kind of plot is obviously a plot where the protagonist takes the heroine on adventures to increase the emotional connection. In other words, she has become the heroine of Brother Ping An, which makes Shui Ling'er very happy.

Moreover, as long as Shui Ling'er stayed away from those three horrible corpses and stayed by Brother Ping'an's side, the fear in her heart would suddenly decrease.

......

In this way, Ye Ping'an took Shui Ling'er and walked towards the desolate place above the ruined temple.

This is a deserted mountain with no human habitation. The mountain is not big, but it is very desolate. In the entire mountain, the only thing that can be seen is this dilapidated temple.

The road was cut off here.

Ye Ping'an estimated that this dilapidated temple might have been built by some secular people in response to the barrenness of the surrounding area, and used to pray for a good harvest and other things.

After all, within dozens of kilometers around here, affected by the intersection of laws, it can be said that there is almost no grass growing, and naturally, the bank will not grow either.

As for why it was in ruins, it might be because after long-term prayers had no effect, they gradually moved away. In addition, the Water Country is now developing a large tourism industry. Now that it has money, it can naturally import more food, and there is no need to guard this desolate land.

This is probably why the area was deserted and became a perfect base for the three kidnappers.

In the original description, it was indeed written that the area around the destination was barren, and the place where the star ash was located was halfway up a barren mountain.

There was no road leading to the barren mountain, and the road was rugged. In addition, it was night, and although there was moonlight, the mountain road was still extremely dangerous for a delicate girl like Shui Ling'er.

So, Ye Ping'an held Shui Ling'er's hand, fearing that she would fall.

As for why he didn't fly with a sword, it was still the same reason as before. He couldn't even fly well by himself, let alone lead others.

Although the barren mountain is not big, it would be a bit difficult to walk there.

It might not be a big deal for Ye Ping'an, but for Shui Ling'er, who usually lives a life of luxury in the palace, it was torture. In addition, they were walking on a mountain road, and the rugged road made it even more unbearable for Shui Ling'er.

When Ye Ping'an and Shui Ling'er had walked for nearly an hour, Shui Ling'er's legs had started to weaken, and her watery eyes were still a little tearful. But she was still desperately holding on.

The little notebook also said that only those who are tenacious and don't hold the protagonist back will eventually marry the protagonist. So, even though her calves were no longer sensitive, Shui Ling'er still gritted her teeth and persisted. But in her heart, she was secretly wondering when Brother Ping An would reach his destination!

Maybe because she was too tired, after climbing over a steep rock, Shui Ling'er slipped and fell directly on the rock. Fortunately, Ye Ping'an kept holding Shui Ling'er, so the delicate girl did not fall down. If this were the case, she would probably be in danger of her life.

However, although Shui Ling'er saved her life, she had sprained her ankle due to the fall.

This made the girl, whose eyes were originally misty, immediately shed large tears.

It hurt, very much, but Shui Ling'er forced herself to endure it and didn't cry out.

Ye Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, Shui Ling'er really deserves the name "Shui". She shed too many tears! Although she didn't cry out loud, you could tell how much pain she was in by looking at her face.

Under Shui Ling'er's rosy cheeks, Ye Ping'an took off the girl's shoes and socks and carefully checked where the girl sprained her ankle.

However, he found that the girl's ankle had turned red, so he quickly rubbed and massaged it to relieve the pain.
